E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Chloropelix canariensis Lindberg, 1936, Paradorydium desertorum Linnavuori, 1964, and P. spatulatum (Naudé, 1926) are recorded from the United Arab Emirates for the first time. These species were collected from Poaceae and Compositae in northeastern part of the country. Paradorydium deserto- rum is also recorded for the first time from Israel, and P. spatulatum, from Morocco. Two new synonyms are established: Bumizana deccani Viraktamath et Viraktamath, 1989, syn. nov. = P. spatulatum; Chloro- pelix indica Viraktamath et Viraktamath, 1989, syn. nov. = Ch. canariensis. Резюме. Chloropelix canariensis Lindberg, 1936, Paradorydium desertorum Linnavuori, 1964 и P. spa- tulatum (Naudé, 1926) впервые указаны из Объединенных Арабских Эмиратов. Эти виды собра- ны со злаков (Poaceae) и сложноцветных (Compositae) на северо-востоке страны. Paradorydium desertorum также впервые указан из Израиля, а P. spatulatum – из Марокко. Установлены два но- вых синонима: Bumizana deccani Viraktamath et Viraktamath, 1989, syn. nov. = P. spatulatum; Chlo- ropelix indica Viraktamath et Viraktamath, 1989, syn. nov. = Ch. canariensis.

It is realized that cer- tain groups could not be treated completely because of the lack of available material. Nevertheless, it is hoped that in its present form this treatise will serve as a convenient and useful manual for the systematic and economic worker concerned with the forms of the upper Mississippi Valley. In all cases a reference to the original description of the species and genus is given. Keys are included for the separation of species, genera, and supergeneric groups. In addition to the keys a brief diagnostic description of the important characters of each species is given. Extended descriptions or long lists of references have been omitted since citations to this literature are available from other sources if ac- tually needed (Van Duzee, 1917).

  • The Crab Spider–Pitcher Plant Relationship Is a Nutritional Mutualism That Is Dependent on Prey- Resource Quality
    Received: 5 July 2018 | Accepted: 28 September 2018 DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12915 RESEARCH ARTICLE The crab spider–pitcher plant relationship is a nutritional mutualism that is dependent on prey- resource quality Weng Ngai Lam | Hugh T. W. Tan Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Abstract Singapore 1. Nutritional mutualisms are one of the three major categories of mutualisms and Correspondence involve the provision of limiting nutrients (resources) to one species by another. It Weng Ngai Lam was recently shown in laboratory experiments that two species of pitcher-dwell- Email: [email protected] ing crab spiders (Thomisidae), Thomisus nepenthiphilus and Misumenops nepen- Handling Editor: Audrey Dussutour thicola, increased capture rates of flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) for their host, Nepenthes gracilis. The spiders ambushed pitcher-visiting flesh flies and dropped their carcasses into pitchers after consuming them. The consumption of shared prey-resources by crab spiders and pitcher plants presents the possibility of para- sitism between them. However, ecologically generalizable mechanisms that pre- dict the context-dependent outcomes of such mutualisms are not known. 2. The effectiveness framework (mutualism effectiveness = quality × quantity) is useful for examining the total effect of mutualisms, but its quality component can be difficult to define. We identify the crab spider–pitcher plant interaction as a type of resource conversion mutualism and propose that the quality component in such interactions is the amount of the underlying resource contained in each unit of resource processed. We then used the crab spider–pitcher plant interaction to test the hypothesis that resource conversion mutualisms are more beneficial to the nutrient recipient when operating through high-quality resources (i.e., large prey, in this interaction).

March 3 1,1999 The Phylogeny of the Genera in the Tribes Deltocephalini, Paralimnini , and Their Allies (Homoptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) * Satoshi KAMITANI Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, 8 12-858 I Japan Abstract. The phylogenetic relationship among the genera of the subfamily Deltocephalinae and its allies occurring in Japan is studied, and the tribes Deltocephalini and Paralimnini are redefined. The phylogenetic analyses were based upon the maximum-parsimony method by the manual and computer-aided reconstruction with the Fitch characters and Wagner characters (non-weighted or weighted). Sixty-four characters were used for the phylogenetic analyses. Deltocephalini s. str. was concluded to be paraphyletic and includes 2 lineages. The DeEtocephaZus clade consists of Alobaldia, Deltocephalus, Endria, Recilia, and Paramesodes. Contrary, Futasujinus, Hengchunia, Takagiella, and Yanocephalus belong to the Paralimnus lineage with Paralimnus, Paralaevicephalus, Psnrmlotrttis, Metalimnus, Diplocolenus, Jassus, Sorhoanus, Doratura, and Aco~~~~wlla. The Deltocephalus clade was referred to the tribe Deltocephalini and the Paralimnus clade to the tribe Paralimnini. Key words: phylogeny, morphology, Deltocephalini, Paralimnini. Cica- dellidae . Introduction Both tribes of Deltocephalini and Paralimnini comprise small leafhoppers having trian- gularly produced vertex. These tribes include 137 and 69 genera, respectively, and are widely distributed in the world from the tropical to the semi-polar regions under various environmental conditions. Most of their hosts are monocotyledonous plants including rice and other agricultural crops.

  • A Survey of Sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Virginia Vineyards, a Region of Expanding Concern for Pierce's Disease'
    A Survey of Sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Virginia Vineyards, a Region of Expanding Concern for Pierce's Disease' Anna K. Wallingford2 and Douglas G. Pfeiffer Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech, 216 Price Hall, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, USA J. Entomol. ScL 47(4): 360-365 (October 2012) Abstract A survey was conducted during the 2006 and 2007 growing seasons to record the presence of sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) vectors of Pierce's disease in Vitis vinifera L. growing regions of Virginia. Oncometopia orbona (F.) and Graphocephala versuta (Say) were consistently trapped in all regions and throughout each growing season, the latter trapped in the highest number. Peak flight of both species occurred early in the season, the time of greatest concern for introduction of infection. Peak flight of O. orbona occurred earlier than that of G. versuta. Homalodisca insolita (Walker) was trapped in the Coastal Plain of Virginia; this is the most northern record of this species to date. Key words Pierce's disease, sharpshooters, Oncometopia orbona, Graphocephala versuta, Homalodisca insolita Pierce's disease is a vascular disease of grapes caused by the xylem-limited bac- terium Xylella fastidiosa (Wells). The causal agent is transmitted by sharpshooters (xylem-feeding Cicadellidae; Frazier and Freitag 1946), and by some froghoppers (Cercopidae; Severin 1950). Vine decline occurs when xylem fluids are blocked by proliferation of bacterial colonies as well as by plant response to infection (Hopkins 1989, Newman et al. 2003, Stevenson et al. 2005). In mild climates, vine death can occur within 2 - 3 yrs of initial infection (Gubler et al. 2006). The primary mode of X.

  • The Inter-Relationshipsof Certain Jassoid Genera (Jassoidea, Homoptera) by J. W.Evans
    1941] Jassoid Genera 113 THE INTER-RELATIONSHIPS OF CERTAIN JASSOID GENERA (JASSOIDEA, HOMOPTERA) BY J. W. EVANS Department of Agriculture, Hobart, Tasmania As a result of a study of Australian leaf-hoppers which has .extended over several years, certain conclusions have been reached concerning the classification of this group of insects that disagree with the generally accepted ideas on the subject. These conclusions have already been published (Evans, 1939). The purpose of the present paper is to draw attention to the new proposed classification in so far as it affects certain genera represented in the North Ameri- can fauna. It is not intended to repeat the arguments on which the new system is based, nor to give lengthy diag- noses of characters. Instead, recourse is made to brief comparisons supported by illustrations. These it is hoped will suffice to stimulate interest in the new proposals, and help to pave the way to a system based more on genetic affinity than on superficial characteristics. The genera concerned are, Bythoscopinae: Bythoscopus Germ., Agallia Curtis, Idiocerus Lewis, Macropsis Lewis, Oncopsis Burm., Neopsis Oman; Gyponinae Gypona Germ., Penthimia Germ., Xerophloea Germ.; Jassinae: Jassus Fabr., Euscelis Brull, Dorycephalus Kirsch., Hecalus Stl, Spanbergiella Sign., Parablocratus Fieb., Nionia Ball; Koebelinae" Koebelia Baker. Following Baker (1923), it has been found convenient to regard each of the more distinct groups of leaf-hoppers as a family unit, and the re-arrangement of the above genera into families on the basis of my system results in the following groupings" Hecalini Hecalus, Parablocratus, Gyponinae Spanbergiella l Gypo,nini Gypona Bythoscopidae Bythoscopinae Bythoscopus Penthimiini--- Penthimia Penthimiinae (Thaumatoscopini*) *Not represented in North America.
